Mrs Simcha Van Bel-Du Plooy

Registered Counselor

With an interest in child and family work, specifically with developmental delays and learning difficulties and well as parental support.

About Me

I support children and families navigating the unique challenges of developmental delays and learning difficulties. My work also offers dedicated parental support, guiding you to understand your child's needs better. Using approaches like BWRT, I help families build confidence and develop practical strategies. This collaborative space is ideal for parents seeking guidance and children needing tailored support to thrive.

Approach

Building on our conversations, therapy focuses on practical routines and small, achievable changes that fit your family’s daily life. In Cape Town and online (English), sessions are paced and collaborative—short, play-based tasks with children, reflective problem-solving with parents, and doable steps to practise between meetings. I listen for strengths, then guide adjustments using brief, targeted techniques that feel manageable and clear. This way of working tends to suit caregivers and young people seeking calm, practical progress.
